"That..."Cora's hands trembled slightly as she stood in front of Arthur. The air between them felt heavy, almost still.
For a brief moment, neither of them spoke. Her chest rose and fell as she tried to calm herself, taking in a slow, deep breath before exhaling shakily.
Her fingers brushed together, and she pressed them against her palms as if trying to suppress the faint quiver that ran through her body.
She forced herself to meet Arthur's eyes but could only hold his gaze for a heartbeat before looking down again.
Her voice came out low and uncertain at first. "That name…" she said softly, the words nearly caught in her throat. Her lips trembled as she spoke again. "It confirms everything."
Arthur said nothing. He simply watched her quietly, his eyes steady and calm.
His expression did not change, but there was patience in the way he looked at her, as if giving her all the time she needed.
He stood still, hands by his side, and waited without interrupting.
